Abstract

The article discusses the musical "Lazarus," co-created by English singer David Bowie and Irish playwright Enda Walsh and directed by Belgian theatre director Ivo van Hove, and its departure from traditional jukebox musicals. It emphasizes that the production received conflicting reactions. It focuses on Bowie's posthumous rumination on death and the theatrical legacy, adopting a more avant-garde approach and employing a "late style" narrative.
